General brainstorming for Note-taking software
Armando:
Sorry I didn't put this precisely enough.
This is most likely a non-public beta and I'm not exactly sure who qualifies as a beta tester.
Please see the original announcement (May, 31) by Tom Davis on Yahoo groups:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ZootForum/message/11696
and this post from June, 21
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ZootForum/message/11726
and the ongoing discussion.

Thanks for the info!
Armando:
Maybe something should be said about EverNote v2.1 to those who... haven’t upgraded on June 25th?
First, see this thread : https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=9059.msg66740#msg66740
... Then look at these nice changes :
Public Release 2.1.0.327 (June 25, 2007)
New Features:
NEW NAVIGATION FUNCTIONALITY
• Ability to sort the Note List and underlying tape notes by Note List's columns significantly simplifies navigation.
• Category Intersection Panel can be opened from the View Menu.
• New shortcuts have been added for Categories Window, Note Lock, Delete Note for keyboard-oriented users.
IMPROVED EDITING
• Each note can be converted into a To-Do item with a new checkbox available in Note Bar.
• Basic image editing in the notes has been added - a new right-click menu item "Edit Picture" provides various image editing options.
ENHANCED CLIPPING
• The clipped content can be instantly sent via email using a new button in the Notification window for all EverNote clippers including Universal Clipper.
NEW UNIVERSAL CLIPPER FUNCTIONALITY
• Ability to add ink markup to image has been added. This feature allows writing over the selected screen area and then saving the annotated image to the EverNote tape or as a separate file.• EverNote application will be launched automatically during clipping even if it was not running.
• Ability to specify target database has been added. It can be done either inside of the My.EverNote.com context menu or while clipping by holding Shift.
• The Universal Clipper now determines whether EverNote is busy at the moment of clipping and sends an appropriate message (instead of previous "Can't clip" error message).
• The highlighted screen area can be saved using the Ctrl+S shortcut.
NEW EXPORT AND IMPORT FUNCTIONALITY
• New Import Wizard sets up automatic addition to the tape of the content from any folder and its subfolders, including folders on feature and camera phones connected via USB port.
• Auto-import for POP3 emails has been added. It allows importing snapshots sent from camera phones.
MISCELLANEOUS
• Silent installation mode for EverNote Clippers for Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird has been added. Installations will be done for "current user" or for "all users" depending on the selection for the whole setup.
Bug Fixes & Improvements:
LOOK AND FEEL
• Short/full note height is now saved in the note.
• Screen location of the Notification Window is now saved in registry.
CATEGORIES
• The ability to create sub-categories with the same name in different hierarchies has been restored.
• Fixed a bug that prevented dropping keywords onto categories.
• Fixed a bug that prevented a note from becoming "Uncategorized" after all assigned categories have been deleted.
EDITING
• Fixed a bug that caused incorrect handling of the Ctrl-Alt-V shortcut in the full-screen editing mode.
NAVIGATION
• Fixed mouse-wheel scrolling issues with IntelliMouse driver for Windows Vista.
EXPORT, IMPORT, AND BACKUP
• Fixed a bug that caused Auto-import memory leaks.
• Fixed a bug that caused EN crashes during database restore operation if no database is open.
• The backup file name origins from the database name instead of previously used numeric combinations.
• Fixed a bug that prevented restoring a database from a "read-only" backup file.
ADVANCED NOTES RECOGNITION (ANR) FOR INK NOTES
• Increased recognition accuracy by using more advanced algorithms.
• Implemented automatic title generation for ink notes (in EverNote Plus only).
• Fixed a bug that caused interruption of ink collection during auto-saving of the database.
• Fixed a bug that caused EverNote crash after a long ink note has been created.
CLIPPING
All clippers
• All EverNote Clippers are integrated with EverNote Outlook Extension.
EverNote Universal Clipper
• Fixed a bug that caused unblocking Win+A while the Resize Selection dialog box is open.
• Fixed a bug that caused Universal Clipper to crash if selection area was extended beyond the screen area using keyboard.
• Fixed a bug that caused Clipper to always start minimized.
• Fixed a bug which caused memory leaking after each insertion of captured image into the EverNote tape.
• Fixed a bug that caused improper positioning of settings window in a multi-monitor mode.
EverNote Clipper for Microsoft Outlook
• Clipper now adds "Subject" line in the clipped email.
• Ensured that a clipped portion of email is stamped by clipping time rather that the time of email receipt.
• Fixed a bug that prevented Outlook Clipper from clipping into a database opened in EverNote Outlook Extension.
EverNote Web Clippers for Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird
• Fixed a bug that distorted clipped messages from Thunderbird.
• Fixed a bug that assigned different titles to clips of whole mail and its portion.
INSTALLATION
• The setup suggests to close Mozilla Firefox/Thunderbird before it can install/update/uninstall the EverNote Clippers for those applications.
• Fixed a bug that prevented EverNote from starting under a limited user profile after a successful installation.
• The setup checks disk existence if the media was changed during the installation.
MISCELLANEOUS
• Help file has been updated for this release.
• The seed database has been updated - all broken links in sample/welcome notes have been fixed and orphaned categories have been removed. Text Notes category has been removed.
• Updated Demo Flash Movie - fixed typos and date format.

I've put in red the bits that immediatly affected (or will affect) positively my work. The "ability to sort the Note List and underlying tape notes by Note List's columns" is probably the greatest addition. (Please note : I don't work for EverNote :D )
Now… if only the next version could ...
- allow opening several windows of the same database
- have some kind of "commenting tool" / higlighter.
- allow to dellete/edit several categories at once
- allow adding multiple filters (properties --> filter tab ; right now you can only select one filter -- keywords OR history OR templates...)
I suggested that in the forum, but they didn't seem to think it was that important... Oh well. :)
Armando:
Yet another "note-taking" software -- seems to be more in the "web-clipping and surfulater family", if I may say so...

Folks might be interested in taking a look at that site, http://www.outlinersoftware.com. It's a discussion forum for people "interested in outlining, PIM, and knowledge management software."

I'm sure folks over there would be very happy to see you all!
"Outlinersoftware.com" was originally "outliners.com/discuss," a forum set up by Dave Winer in the 90s to exchange views about outliners (mainly single-pane ones). Nowadays, as well as outlining, it touches on other aspects of researching and writing as well - web clipping, pims, note-taking, editing, word-processing, etc. It has a big searchable archive going back many years. The move to a new server somewhat disrupted the little community, but it is recovering well.
